Accordingly, everyone at the meeting was informed of the new plans and told of the Christmas deadline. That week with one accord everyone start- ed to work, and shortly afterward, with one accord, everyone decided that Christmas was a long way off. Things slowly began to take shape, how- ever. The art board decided on the main illustrations, and a snapshot contest was opened to the students of the school. A huge number of prints was received, and the best of them were sent to the printers to be placed on the snapshot page. The business board called a meeting, handed out blanks to everyone, and told them to hurry downtown and get ads. A month after the first call, the business board had a speaker who told the members how to secure ad- vertisements in the easiest and quickest way. With this additional information more ads were soon obtained. The editorial board wrote and rewrote articles until, shortly before the deadline, everything was finished. With a sigh of relief the dummy was taken to the printers. After a few consultations, The Spark for 1941 was completed, and then quietly one afternoon it went to press, and a few days later it was ready to be distributed.

Nineteen Forty-one Page Twenty- three Sally Pitcher, Mr. VanArsdale, Bobby Hoyt, Ed Kelly, Pete Kranz, Stewart Kranz. The Latest MID the familiar clattering of type- writers and the shouts of anguish as an- other stencil was ruined, the staff of The Latest inaugurated a new paper. The fa- miliar three-page stapled newspaper became a deluxe folded sheet with four pages. Nu- merous other improvements were made in the general design, including a reduction, or so the staff says, of spelling errors. The joke column was abandoned and an Alumni News article appeared periodically. The greatest addition to the school newspaper was the weekly Headmaster's Column in which Mr. Cheek expressed his views on many subjects of interest to the students. As usual, The Latest issued an extra, and again it announced a victory for the Park forces -- the headlines reading something like Park 2, Nichols O. During the Fall the staff announced that The Latest would sponsor a Scholastic Im- provement Contest in which the Middle and Upper Schools would compete. The prize of a silver cup was to be awarded to the grade showing the greatest improvement in marks from the mid-year exams to the finals in June. Thus the classes have approached the exams with more excitement and en- thusiasm, perhaps, than in other years. With a final burst of enthusiasm, The Latest wound up the year with a birthday commemorating the fourth year of publi- cation. Thus it joined the ranks as an un- forgettable memory in the hearts of the Graduating Class and the rest of the School after providing up-to-date news every week of the school year.
